Filed Nov. 12, 1968, Ser. No. 775,071 Int. Cl. B29c 17/04; B32b 1/10 US. Cl. 264-90 1 Sheet Drawing. 7 Pages Specification A method for forming a package capable of standing alone on a counter or other similar surface, as illustrated in FIG. 2, comprising the steps of:

Preferably, the coating is formed by passing the combination through a curtain of viscous, thermoplastic coating material as a vacuum is being created below the substrate. The intimate contact of the coating serves not only to coat the stand-up device, but also to secure it and the article to the substrate. The bottom of the card and the stand-up device are thereby insured of being in the same plane to stabilize the package when displayed.
